The Quintessential Half-Orc

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Children of violence, half-orcs seem condemned to lead a life of violence from the moment they leave their mothers' womb. Few half-breeds are as commonly scorned and looked upon with so much prejudice as the half-orc, born from an union not as foul to be unholy but still not 'clean' or eagerly expected in the least. Whether they grow up amidst humans or raised by orcs, a half-orc child can look forward to a life filled with abuse and misunderstanding.

At their core, half-orcs raised by humans are not as different as those taken in by an orcish tribe even if their outward demeanour is completely different. A runt raised by orcs learns to endure the physical abuse of other orcs his age, just like a bastard child must endure the psychological and emotional torture of growing up in human society. Even those rare half-orcs who grow up without ties to either society, or as a result of both have the same core of rage, shame and resentment that makes up most of a half-orc's mindset. With the help of this sourcebook, however, any character choosing the half-orc race will find many alternatives of growth for any class the character follows beyond the stereotypical barbarian.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
